Peering into the unknown world of amphisbaenians (Squamata, Amphisbaenia): A summary of the life history of Amphisbaena alba

open access: yesActa Zoologica, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 539-550, October 2024.
Abstract Capturing data on the life of fossorial vertebrates is difficult since access to the subterranean environment is made unfeasible by its density and opacity. Collecting specimens is only possible through excavation work, causing damage or even death to the specimens.

Development of a sensitive enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for specific identification of Lachesis acrochorda venom

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2012
The snake genus Lachesis provokes 2 to 3% of snakebites in Colombia every year. Two Lachesis species, L. acrochorda and L. muta, share habitats with snakes from another genus, namely Bothrops asper and B. atrox.

An Immunological Stairway to Severe Tissue Complication Assembly in Bothrops atrox Snakebites

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Snakebites are a serious public health problem and, in the Amazon, the Bothrops atrox snake is the most frequent cause of envenomation. B. atrox venom (BaV) causes pathophysiological changes with intense, local inflammatory processes, such as severe ...

Quantification of snake venom proteomes by mass spectrometry‐considerations and perspectives

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 977-997, September/October 2024.
Abstract The advent of soft ionization mass spectrometry‐based proteomics in the 1990s led to the development of a new dimension in biology that conceptually allows for the integral analysis of whole proteomes. This transition from a reductionist to a global‐integrative approach is conditioned to the capability of proteomic platforms to generate and ...

Overcoming the phantoms of the past: Influence of predatory stimuli on the antipredator behavior of island pitvipers.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
The reduction of predation is a potentially important factor for the evolution of the traits of an island animal species. By relaxed selection, insular animals tend to lose their antipredator behaviors.

Effects of batroxobin on the antithrombotic system in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis: Clues to mechanisms

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Batroxobin can inhibit platelet aggregation, degrade insoluble fibrinogen, dissolve soluble fibrin, and prolong TT and APTT which makes it play a stable role in the effective treatment of CVT. Batroxobin can slow down the changes in coagulation indicators, which makes it not increase the risk of adverse events, especially bleeding.

Cell‐free DNA kinetics in response to muscle‐damaging exercise: A drop jump study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 109, Issue 8, Page 1341-1352, 1 August 2024.
Abstract A significant increase in circulating cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) occurs with physical exercise, which depends on the type of exertion and the duration. The aims of this study were as follows: (1) to investigate the time course of cfDNA and conventional markers of muscle damage from immediately after to 96 h after muscle‐damaging exercise; and (2 ...

Proteopeptidomic, Functional and Immunoreactivity Characterization of Bothrops moojeni Snake Venom: Influence of Snake Gender on Venom Composition

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Venom composition varies across snakes from all taxonomic levels and is influenced by the snakes’ age, habitat, diet, and sexual dimorphism. The present study reports the first in-depth investigation of venom composition in male and female Bothrops ...
